3.4.2 Front- and Rear-Mount 19" EIA Rails—Position and Attach
Front- and rear-mount 19" EIA rails are installed in DCF racks at the factory at 29.13 inches
(740mm). They are attached to the cabinet frame at top and bottom, attach in center to the DCF
support member using M6x12 torx head screw into a rail adjustment bracket. 19" EIA rails in 800mm
wide racks are attached using node brackets. The node brackets attach to the top and bottom of the
DCF frame and in the center to the DCF support member. The 19" EIA rails are attached to the node
brackets and move as a unit if they need to be repositioned.
Position 19" EIA Rails
1. Determine the desired location of the 19" EIA rails.
2. Loosen the M6x12 screws in the rail adjustment brackets securing the 19" EIA rails to the frame
member (see Figure 6).
Rails in both the 600 and 800mm wide racks are attached at the top, center and bottom.
3. Slide the rail adjustment brackets either up or down, depending on their orientation in the rack.
4. Slide the 19" EIA rail to the desired position, making sure it is kept square as described in the
Note above. The frame member and support have small holes spaced on 6.35mm centers to assist
in properly positioning the 19" EIA rails.
5. Hold the rail in position, then tighten the M6x12 screws into the rail adjustment brackets.
6. Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for the corresponding 19" EIA rail.
NOTE
The front and rear 19" EIA rails must be kept at a 90-degree angle to the upper and lower
frame members. The left and right front vertical rails must be the same distance from the front
of the rack; the left and right rear vertical rails must be the same distance from the rear of the
rack.
If those conditions are not met, equipment and optional features will be difficult to install.
